I have not seen a windows machine without cygwin for longer than it took me to install it. CLISP understands those "/cygdrive/c/autoexec.bat" pathnames just fine, and understanding symlinks is just another step forward. > Other non-Cygwin applications don't understand Cygwin symlinks either. Emacs understands the cygdrive pathnames and I am sure it will appreciate an opportunity to understand symlinks as well. -- Sam Steingold <http://sds.podval.org>
